Answered a "freead" classified advert for a Golden Retriever
Emails were recieved from a "larrissa. millian" to say they had two girls and sent photographs.
Never answered requests for further information promptly.
I phoned the telephone number supplied and it was answered by a foreign speaking gentleman who said larissa (his wife) was not available but he coud answer any queries.
The next day we recieved a request to pay 25O into a Cameroon bank account and on receipt of this we would get a number which would needed to be sent to them immediately and they would transport our pup from Girvan by aeroplane to our nearest airport and transport to our home address by courier.
I went to the post office because they required the monies by Money gram and try to complete the transaction, upon my visit the cashier said it was very suspicious therefore I did not carry out the transaction
I tried to get the puppy delivered before sending any monies.
By email sympathy vote was tried by telling me her sister was in hospital and that we should trust her if we wanted her puppy.
We negotatiated a 50 down payment and the rest of delivery.
I was becoming very uneasy.
It was then I visited the internet and put the name of Air Animal Moving Services into the search and found "Rip Off" and the reports.
Thank you so much to everyone else who reported this scam and fortunately did not lose any monies!!!
Please find samples of the emails

Hello and we are very glad you are contacting us in regards to our lovely puppies. We got all our puppies still available to join new homes filled with lots of love and care. We got a male and a female available at moment and all are 12 weeks old presently weighing 2.1pounds at moment. Our puppies are very healthy and are vet checked and kc reg. We take them for health check ups every two months to make sure they remain healthy and we feed them with lots of healthy food to maintain their healthy sizes. so where are you based? They are potty trained and have got home skills and are all dewormed as well. They are very sociable and friendly to all other home pets and kids and are undergoing home training at moment and are really picking up with the home skills. They love playing in the yard with their toys. We will love to give out our puppies into another loving home because they are losing attention while here with us because the nature of my job is not thesame as before. Work takes all my
time leaving me with very little time for them which is not good for them. we are a Christian and and loving home based in GIRVAN, SCOTLAND willing to transport and deliver our babies into any loving home within the U.K. We relocated here and while here, we got new jobs that is taking just all our time leaving me especially with very little time for care of the puppies. And plus our new land lord is not in support of dogs. Due to this they are really losing attention and care which is not the least good for them so we will love to give them out into another loving home where they will have all the attention they need and will be well taken cared of. It will cost you 250 for both the puppy and transportation to your home. or to your closest airport where you can pick it up from. Our puppies come along with the following plane ticket, Pet Taxi, Food/Water Dish combo, Puppy Food, Official health certificate and Delivery to your doorstep with a special pets delivery van from the airport. You can get back to us at your
convenience if you will love to have any of them in your home.
Thanks Millian
